Andrew Garfield just made us emotional with his interview about his mother passing away. The Amazing Spider-Man who’s always seen on camera smiling and being goofy finally showed his emotional side with Elmo The Muppet. Every interview that we’ve watched of Andrew is either chaotic or humorous. He never misses the chance of being joyful and poking himself.
The actor has this persona of being too chilled out and calm on the sets as well as for the interviews. Cracking jokes, geeking out over something, and being relatable are his vibe. His quality of being hilarious with his words and being kinda unpredictable is what made us fall in love with him in the first place. He looks like the guy you would wanna vibe and hang out with and the one you would call in a bad mood to cheer you up.
Well, what you know we all have our sides people have never seen before, as for Andrew he can give you the best life advice as well when you engage in a deep conversation with him. In an interview with Elmo, Andrew Garfield shared his experience of grief. The actor talked about his feelings about his mother passing away not so long ago.
He opened up about how it’s not always sad and negative to grieve about someone. He said, “I’m just thinking about my mom today. She passed away not too long ago and you know, I just miss her a lot….,” he said. “You know, that sadness is kind of a gift. Kind of a lovely thing to feel in a way, because it means that you really loved somebody when you miss them.” Further on he says,“And when I miss someone, when I miss my mom, I remember all the cuddles I used to get from her. All the hugs I used to get from her. It makes me feel close to her when I miss her, in a strange sort of way.”
Andrew also shared with us how happy he is to have all the memories of her mother, even after she’s not around. He expressed that he feels joy and sad at the same time whenever he misses her mother. The actor shared, “So, when I miss her, I remember it’s because she made me so happy. So, I can celebrate her and I can miss her at the same time,” said Garfield. The ability to share emotions with men is not appreciated in our society. We have this stereotypical thinking that men are not supposed to be vulnerable and sensitive. Acts like this by a public figure pass on a positive message that it is okay to not be okay sometimes even if you are a man.
Comment down if you agree that men shouldn’t be judged on showing their emotional side.
